On March 30th we had just over 30 crew show up and 10 skippers, so it was a great turnout. Following the event all potential crew received an email update re next steps, as well as the names and email addresses of the skippers in attendance. An online “crew bank” is in the process of being set up on the Fleet 1 website, and all skippers will shortly receive the contact info of the folks who attended Crew Night. |

Boat Measurement Prior to the NA’s & BC Championships The racing season is starting soon and the North American's are coming up fast in Nanaimo in early July followed by the BC Championships in Gibsons. All boats will require a valid Measurement Certificate for these regattas, so now is the time to reach out to your local Fleet Measurer if you need a Certificate or need to finalize a Certificate in progress. Note that Measurers will have reduced capacity to assist after April 30th and very little after May 31st, so best to get on it right away if needed. |
